There are so many problems here in the apartment beginning day 1 of move in with no response/remedies/repairs -- i.e., no heat/freeze in winter months; window leaks/mold; plaster falling/hole in ceiling ... and the garage door is always broken/side door to building is always broken - jeopardizing residents' safety ... to make matters more difficult, 10/2011 they started working on a crumbling wall at the entrance of our garage (that was crumbling when I moved in 2010...) and it was to take 3 weeks and it is now going on 15 weeks and still not complete ... we had to move our cars every morning by 8a. and move them back in after 5p. Mondays-Saturdays. They said I have to pay $200 extra a month to stay past my date -- needless to say I am still rushing to find a place ... I asked, given the circumstances, and the manager agreed-there are problems here, if I could get a 1-2 month extension at a lower rate? I was told no, but he would ask the owner and get back with me in a couple of days (last Thursday) but have not heard from him. We have complained about 'ice' at side entrance door and trash can area ... but the maintenance person said he had asked for salt and they had not brought it to him ... there was a thick sheet of ice on walkway to door ... called to let them know they needed to ice the walkway before someone gets hurt bad and that my daughter fell and hit her head and back and the girl did not even let me get it out ... she cut me off and said "Bob is over there he will take care of!" I called the manager and left him a voicemail regarding this and he has not called back at all ... the walkway got shoveled and salted later the next day. I am trying to find temporary quarters but it is hard to move an 84 year old twice in 2 months ...

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:34:39 +0000 http://ohiorentersrights.com/chapters-11-15/chapter-15/#comment-10058 My lease on my apt ends on 1/6. We are closing on a house before the lease ends, so we will be moving out at the end of our lease (not renewing or continuing month to month). I gave written notice on 11/27 as such. However, after calling them and confirming receipt on 11/29, they claim I need to pay rent through 1/27 because my lease stated I needed to give them 60 days notice before moving out, even at the end of the lease. They basically automatically enrolled me in month-by-month without giving me rates first (higher than current rates). The only notice, reminder or inquiry I got about this from the complex was given in a letter on 11/27 giving new rates and a reminder that they needed 60 days notice. It also said I needed to reply by 1/16 for those rates. Is this legal? What should my next steps be? As additional info, my rent is due on the 3rd of every month and I will be requesting a copy of my lease today, along with a written confirmation of my letter from 11/27, as well as a copy of the letter they sent on 11/27.
